Meet Barack

Honestly, I don't need to watch another political ad building the candidate up. I want to see solutions and specific outlines for how they will be reached. This planet comes first and frankly, I'm tired of waiting for politicians to get that. So, on the environment, this is my video, and I ask you to please stop pandering to "clean coal" that spreads cancer and blows off tops of mountains, and the nuclear industry that sucks up billions in taxpayer subsidies and pollutes and toxifies our waterways like Exelon did in Illinois.

We must see aggressive action regarding alternate energies (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hemp, seaweed, and other biofuels besides ethanol which you have supported) within the next five to ten years. Al Gore's endorsement alone does not make you an environmentalist. I for one need to see much more. Also, 2050 to cut GHG emissions by 80% is absolutely too late. The Arctic and Greenland are melting much faster than scientific predictions and glaciers the world over will not make it to 2050 especially with the rate of acidification of our oceans and the changes it is causing for the jet stream. Hoping you take this seriously, because it is serious.Thank you.

Almost got a little teary-eyed there for a sec....had it not been for the unfortunate 80's movie soundtrack. Good grief.

I would take the first :29 and move it to the end. Cut everything from :30 to 2:39 [ needs to be condensed or redone - lacks sincerity, too reminiscent of John Edwards 'daddy was a millworker' schpeel ]

Then remove 3:48 to 4:47 [ends with Kirk Dillard "Republicans respect Obama."] -after that, Kirk says "... IF he becomes president..."...this entire statement just lacks hope. Succeeding montage can go too.

4:47-8:20 is all good, but I'd move Claire McCaskill and the middle class living wage speech to the beginning.

The end [8:20-9:09] doesn't work at all !!! I know I've seen him speak that same message with 10X more grace and confidence... i can think of at least a dozen other blocks of speech that better represent him and will leave the viewer more inspired, less tense.

The second female endorser[:29] w/ orange tan is a bit distracting...followed by the kitchen ladies headlock/hug - sweet and endearing as that clip is for me, I imagine a lot of swing voters see something entirely different in that image.

Swap some of those photos out for the best video - a few good still shots go a long way.

Some of the inter-title cards were a a bit cheesy / disingenuous..almost cringeworthy. And I don't like the FONT at all. It looks like the default?

What's missing for me is a few more normal ppl comments.. a college-aged person, a family, and maybe one more 'middle class' middle-aged person. More clips of Barack working / speaking in the senate. And a few clips from the Philadelphia speech on race - that's key.

Overall i like the message here, but i didn't see that blatant, unabashed 'patriotism' that's so coveted by media personalities>>>^^^

Keep up the amazing work everyone !!! The entire campaign effort is such a great inspiration - y'all have the most important jobs in the world right now and I'm counting on you to make it happen in November.
